Domaine François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

Even more expressive than last year. Lemon/lime zest and quince flavors intermingle well with the wet white travertine scaffolding. Punchy without being pithy. Excellent acidity and drive, all the…

Domaine François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

Beautiful lemon-lime zest and luscious yellow pear notes work well with white pumice minerality aptly framing the gorgeous fruit. Medium-to-full bodied and balanced, with a saturated mouthfeel that…

Henri Germain et Fils Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

First bottle sucked from premox. Second bottle sucked a little less, but still showed sherry notes that flattened freshness. This producer is continually unreliable. I love his wines when they are…

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

Fresh and acidic beams of lemon juice and clementine give way to a lively interplay of citrus and white stone flavors, brightening and dynamically coating the palate. Not exaggeratedly punchy to the…

Domaine François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

Domaine Matrot Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

Similar to three months ago. Certainly a succulent Charmes, with the ripe lemon and white and yellow peach notes dominating. What it slightly lacks in tension, it certainly makes up for in flavor. A…

Domaine François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

Served side by side with a '16 Mikulski Meursault (general; non-1er), this zesty '15 Mikulski Poruzots 1er carried brighter focus and more chiseled mineral elements when compared to the general…

Domaine Darviot-Perrin Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

This wine just straight owns! There are lime zest and limestone-laced kiwi notes that kick the volume of this thing past 11. The best representation of the Perrieres site I've ever experienced. So…

Domaine François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots

Côte de Beaune · Meursault 1er Cru

Lemon verbena, lemon and lime zest, and wet limestone. Primary and pure, with a clean but linear delivery at this juncture. Much more straight-laced than the 2015. Tasty but in need of 3+ years to…
